    1. [BANAT-L] Help with Austrian document

    3. Hello. This is my first message to the list - I've been reading the archives for a while but not seen much about my great-grandparents' origin (Monyoród, along with Szederkény/Surgetin and Máriakéménd/Kemend, in Baranya county). My family has Xeroxes of a few pages of a document from my grandmother's cousin's branch, which came over separately (and later) than my grandmother's parents did in 1911. The pages are numbered, as if they come from a booklet, which appears to contain the immediate ancestry of grandma's cousin. I want to know what kind of book this is. Let me describe it. Pages 16 & 17, titled at the top "Eltern", have the birth, marriage and death information for grandma's cousin's parents. The pages consist of printed forms that have been filled out by hand, including some places where several alternatives are given for all but one to be struck out. The birth and marriage entries are signed by the Kirchenbuchführer (name illegible), and stamped with a circular stamp containing the word "Salzburg" in the middle, with what appears to be "Enang. Pfarramt G.B." (or perhaps two other capital letters) around the outside. The death information was written in later in another hand, and is not stamped (and they died in the US, so perhaps those entries were added by my relatives?). One part of the document which confuses me are the separate entries for "Geburtsort" and "Geburtseinte". The first is apparently birthplace; what is the Geburtseinte? Pages 18 and 19 are titled "Großeltern a) väterlicherseits", and concern the people I believe to be my gr-gr-grandparents. They likewise have birth and marriage information written in the same hand as before, signed by the same person as before, and with the same stamp; and death information, unstamped, in another hand (though this time they died in Monyoród). We also have the pages for the maternal grandparents, but I don't have a copy here to confirm which page numbers it occupied. So, does this species of book have a name? Thanks, Amanda researching Lerch, Koller, Ulrich in Baranya (Mohacsi)
